Which Alfas use the CANBUS System? I have a CD/radio which when connected to my 2001 156 displays "cancheck" and stops at that? I believe it is fully working.

As far as I remember the 156 doesn't have canbus as the radios even on the later cars are inter changeable from car to car. 147s and GTs definitely have canbus.

Thanks for that. when plugged into a 147 or GT will it work ok or does it need some other code? Cheers

Have you got a radio from a later model then that you are trying to get to work with your older one?

No, i was given it and want to sell it but just clarifying which car it will fit. Just tried it in my 156 to see if it worked?

I don't think you can swap 147/GT stereos from car to car, they are pretty much useless second hand.
